Unfortunately, due to rain overnight we are cancelling sports events this morning. However, we are planning to go ahead with the team activities this afternoon when the grass should be dry.

Start time for all year groups is 1.30 p.m. 

Please come along!

Children still to wear their PE kit to school.

Dear Parents,

 

Great news! The Junior School Sports Day is on Wednesday 29th June.

 

On Wednesday morning, we are having the usual relay races on the field. Your child will be in their house point team in their class. They will do each relay race, as part of their team, and you are welcome to follow your child around the field as they do these activities. This will start at 10am and should finish by 11 a.m.

 

In the afternoon, we will have races on the field and it will be in two parts. Lower school (Year 3 and Year 4) will start their Sports Day events at 1:15pm and finish at 2pm. Upper school (Year 5 and Year 6) will then come out and start their Sports Day events at 2:15pm - finishing at 3pm.

If your child is in lower school, please arrive ready for a 1:15pm start. You are then welcome to leave when lower school have finished their races. If your child is in upper school, you should arrive ready for a 2:15pm start. If you have children in upper and lower school, you are welcome for both. All children will be expected to return to class and will be sent home at 3:20pm as usual.

 

Obviously, your child will need their PE kit for the whole day and they may wear a T-shirt in their house colour.

 

If it is raining on the Wednesday morning then Sports Day will be called off as the ground will be too slippery to sprint on. We will put a notification on the school website.

Dear Parents,

 

As you will be aware, your child has been offered a year 3 place at South View Junior School for September 2022 and I am delighted to say that once again we are able to offer some transition visits for you to visit the school and ask any questions you may have.

 

I am very aware that a lot of parents already have siblings at the junior school and so know the school well, however, we will be offering a brief introduction to the school, (about 30 minutes) in the school hall, which will include a walk through the school.

 

If you would like to attend one of these brief induction tours, then please book via the infant school office. Please note these visits are for parents only, the children will have their own visits.

 

The times available are: 

 

       Tuesday 14^th June at 9.30a.m; 11a.m or 1.30p.m.

 

You will be able to collect your child’s induction pack during your visit or from the JUNIOR school office at any time after Monday 20^th June 2022.

 

A letter confirming their new class will be included in their end of year report but as we want to start some transition work for the children sooner than that, a text will be sent on Wednesday 22^nd June to the phone number we hold for the ‘number one contact’, informing you of your child’s class for next year.

 

If you haven’t received a text by 3p.m. on that date then you will need to phone the infant school to check your contact details are up to date and we can then let you know which class your child is in.

Please note that we are not able to inform you of other children in their class due to data protection laws.

 

Best wishes

 

Mrs S Pape

Executive Headteacher
